4 Reasons For

7% faster processor clock speed
Edit

The Apple 3.0GHz is a 3GHzGHz processor clock speed PC. That's 0.2GHz faster than the Apple Mac Mini Late 2014 (2.8GHzGHz).

The speed that the microprocessor executes each instruction or each vibration of the clock. The CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks, or cycles, to execute each instruction. The faster the clocks rate, the faster the CPU, or the faster it can execute instructions. Clock Speeds are usually determined in MHz, 1 MHz representing 1 million cycles per second, or in GHz, 1 GHz representing 1 thousand million cycles per second. The higher the CPU speed, the better a computer will perform.

A higher processor clock speed means that the computer can complete more calculations every second which means that applications will run faster.

Bigger processor cache
Edit

The Apple 3.0GHz has a processor cache of 4MBMB, but the Apple Mac Mini Late 2014 is only a 3MBMB processor cache PC (1MB smaller).

Faster maximum turbo frequency
Edit

The Apple 3.0GHz is a 3.5GHzGHz maximum turbo frequency PC. That's 0.2GHz faster than the Apple Mac Mini Late 2014 (3.3GHzGHz).
Read more

The turbo boost is an automatic, managed accelleration of the processor when one of the cores is overloaded.

$131 cheaper

The Apple 3.0GHz is $130.99 cheaper than the Apple Mac Mini Late 2014.
